This chapter contains a rather well quoted verse in the last verse 29 about the hidden things of the Lord. The rest of the verse is revealing; as the warnings of the entire chapter are clear.
we see prophetic overtones here of verses such as found in Isaiah 66 about those who are viewed in the pit of hell on the earth in the future. The mention of brimstone and burning in verse 23 shows an opening to hell as well; following destruction in the same way as Sodom and Gomorrah. This should make CLEAR to all those detractors who claim there is no mention of hell in the O.T. that it is simply not a true statement.
The REASONING here is quite revealing. The attitude of verse 19; namely blessing and assuring peace in the corrupt heart and soul of man that they can secretly harbor abominations as a result of the previous verse going after other gods surely is a sober warning to those today who are clearly having demonic manifestations while attributing it to the "Holy Spirit".
Earlier verses indicate that the covenant was made similar to the first; and involving those present and others as well in Moab. They were reminded of a summary of the 40 years in exile; relief from Egypt and its foreign gods (v. 2; 16-17) as well as their recent victory over Og and Sihon; beginning to give a few tribes initial lands of conquest for their inheritance. The blessings and cursings mentioned in previous chapters of Deuteronomy are once again repeated; this time going straight to the end result of final judgment.
This should cause us to pause whenever we take the "New Covenant" i.e. "accepting Christ" seriously. It is HIS covenant with our souls; having paid the redemption price to enable us to be adopted into the beloved. Should we enter in; it is on HIS terms; not negotiable and/or with a god of our own imagination. Dying to self; thankfully is made possible; but we m ust make sure that we are honest about counting the cost involved to be a faithful disciple.
I just do not think Jesus Christ wants the Bride of Christ to go through the Tribulation. He told us to have our Lamps filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit. Be listening for the Bridegrooms shout and the Trump.
Later after the Marriage Supper we will ride with Jesus on white horses. I'm looking forward to everything! I am positive Jesus will have things we can do and will want to do.
The tribulation is about pain and suffering; trying to survive; have enough food and water; staying away from mobs armed with guns taking away from people anything they want. If they don't take the Mark of the beast; their money is going to run out quick.
There's nothing wrong with going with Jesus. "Choose Life so that you and your family may live."
Lets stand up an Give God his Glory lets remeber who spoke it into existence in the beginning and then allowed us his son to have a perfect example to gude us an heal us protect us and He lives an hes coming praise his name unto the nations will his name be exalted Halleuluah
Hebrews in Revelation 1:14 - His [Jesus] HEAD head and his hairs were WHITE white like wool, as WHITE white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass,
[Brass is made of copper which is REDDISH GOLDEN, not black] as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Bible book Song of Solomon 5:10 - My beloved is WHITE white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
Bible book Lamentations 4:7 - Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were WHITER whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
The God of hosts, is in control over all nations. A covenant was given to the people of Israel to follow and obey. This covenant is for all generations to come. It is written for us also, our generation. Verse 15, it declares, this covenant it is neither with you that I make only which standeth here today, but also with those who are not here today, which means us, the future generation.
Verse 25~When the nations saw the plagues that befell the Israelites, they were to know it was because of their own failings and not some shortage on the part of Jehovah God.
Oh what a great lesson that is! Our Father is good to all BECAUSE HE IS GOOD! We are to learn from the Lord Jesus Christ everything we need to grow up into that man or woman that Our Father in heaven ever wanted us to be. It was always His desire, and always His plans, in all His dealings with us; when we didn't know Him, and now that we're just learning to know Him: He is high above little minds.
Verse 5: This shows what great concern that Jehovah God had for his people even though they disobeyed him. He made sure their clothing and their shoes did not wear out.
There was never a servant of the LORD like Moses, nor was there ever anything like all that the LORD did with Israel during Moses' lifetime; yet with the very wisest and most powerful words of truth, and all the mighty works of power, the people would still not repent, that they might believe in the LORD. Knowledge and understanding comes together with a tried proven character in faith and virtue.
"Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land...Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day." How is it, that for the time that the word of Christ has been among the Nations, that there is to this day such ignorance and error in the things of Christ?
The point is as Jesus said with man salvation is impossible but with God all things are possible St Paul confirms this when he writes For as we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling it is God who works in us both to do his will and good pleasure The restoration of God s kingdom on earth is the salvation of the world It is 100 the work of God Its universal for all men regardless of what men believe or do
Moses is talking about the New Covenant here Its different from beside the Old Covenant that was made in Horeb Sinai the ten commandments In the New Covenant God makes a vow to change men s hearts to cause them to walk in his statutes and he will accomplish his vow as per Ezekiel 36 26 27 In the Old Covenant Man makes a vow that he cannot keep due to his ignorance
